SASH CORD FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,122, dated May 6,1884.

Application filed January 15, 1884. (No model.)

To ail whom it'mcty concern:

Be it known that I, S. HOWLAND RUssELL, of the city, county, and Stateof New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement inGord-Fastenings, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures;

Figure l is a view illustrating one use of my improvement. Fig. 2 is asectional elevation of my improvement. Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofthe same inverted. Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the same, and showing thecord in place and the fastening-screw in section.

The object of this invention is to facilitate the attachment of cords towindow-sashes and other supports, and to promote security in suchattachments.

-The invention consists in a cord fastening made with a plate perforatedto receive the fastening-screw, and provided with two ormorepointshavinginclinedinnersides, whereby the cord will be compressedbetween the said points and aroundthe fastening-screw, as will behereinafter fully described.

A represents'the body or plate of the fastening, which may be maderectangular or of other desired shape. with a perforation, B, to receivethe screw 0, by which the fastening is secured to thenwindow-sash orother support.

Upon the face of the plateA are formed two or more points, D,(preferably four,) which are made with inclined inner sides, to adaptthe said points to compress the cord E between them and againstthefastening-screw O,

The plate A is made.

while the plateAclamps the said cord against the sash or other supportwith which the cord is to be connected. The length of the points D, andtheir distance from each other and from the fastening-screw 0, mustcorrespond with the size of the cord to be'fastened.

The fastening can be made separate, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4, andat the point F in Fig. 1; or it can be made as a part of a pulley blockor frame, or other article, as shown at the points G in Fig. 1.

The cord E can extend outward in the plane ofthe plate A, as illustratedat the points G in Fig. l, or at right angles or other desired anglewith the said plane, as shown at the points F in Fig. 1.

WVhen the cord E is to leave the fastening at an angle, the edge of thefastening can be rounded as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, to prevent the saidedge from cutting the said cord.

Having thus described my iuvention,I claim as new and desire to securebyLetters Patent 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a cord-fastenerconsisting of the plate A, per forated to receive the fastening-screw,and provided with two or more points, D, having inclined inner sides, asset forth.

2. The combination, with the perforated plate A, having two or morepoints, D, with inclined inner sides, of the fastening-screw O and thecord E, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the saidcord will be compressed between the said points and around the saidscrew, as set forth.

S. HOWLAND RUSSELL.
